• decreases anxiety, stress and tension.

Sceletium tortuosum has been used by hunter-gatherers and shepherds as a mood-enhancing substance for millennia, and is far more effective and rapidly acting than the well-known European plant Hypericum (St Johns Wort).

The mood-elevating action of sceletium is caused by a number of alkaloids including mesembrine, mesembrenol and tortuosamine which interact with the brain's dopamine and serotonin receptors.

Sceletium tortuosum is a small groundcover plant native to Southern Africa. For hundreds of years the Hottentots of Southern Africa used Sceletium tortuosum as a mood enhancer, relaxant and empathogen. (It is also known as Kanna or Kougoed.)

Historically, Sceletium tortuosum was eaten or chewed, smoked or used as a snuff producing euphoria and alertness which gently fades into relaxation. If chewed in sufficient quantity Sceletium has a mild anesthetic effect in the mouth, much like kava. A tea made from Sceletium is sometimes used to wean alcoholics off alcohol.

Although the plant has been used for thousands of years in Africa, it is only now being sought by the West for its remarkable capacities to uplift the mood, increase energy levels and concentration spans. Sceletium is also being used as a natural anti-depressant that is safer than the pharmaceutical alternatives.

Kanna (sceletium) is used to rebalance the brain and nervous system and thereby relieve symptoms of depression. This has been proven to be extremely effective and safe.

`Best Kanna I've ever had. Truly top quality stuff. To top it off the best price I've been able to find. Thanks.'
-Todd, USA.

`Everything is actually quite fine, especially since I've discovered Kanna(your brand and price in particular). It's an absolute Godsend.
I've been depressed or ADHD or some such undefinable but totally miserable thing ever since I was a kid. I'm 57 now and have worked in the psychiatric
field for almost 30 years now, experimenting with all kinds of drugs and supplementation and I can only tell you that had I discovered this herb
40 years ago, there are a whole lot of people whose lives would have had a much more positive spin.
I thank whatever supreme being there is for creating it and for creating you to market it.
Yours in Appreciation,
Dick.' - USA

With the kanna that I had purchased elsewhere years ago, I would take a tablespoon with little effect. 
Your product was effective at 50 to 100mg!  Strong stuff!

-Desiree, USA.

`I found the Kanna to be more intense than I had expected.
A full pinch, in a cupfull of hot water seems to be a good dose for me, so I can definitely vouch for the strength being excellent.
I can feel the effect sometimes for 2 days.
My main response is that it is much stronger than I had expected and I have quickly grown to respect it, a little goes a long way.'
